Agriculture leaders said it prob-
ably was not a killing frost, since
the freeze was a mild one and
touched only the fields in very low
areas.
If the temperature had dropped
several degrees lower, the county
probably would have, recorded its
first killing frost nearly one month
ahead of time. Date of the aver-
age first heavy freeze of the sea-
son is Nov. 13.
Clear skies and bright sunshine
today quickly erased the chilly at-
mosphere of early-morning, how-
ever, and a gradual warm-up is
expected tonight and Friday. Lows
tonight may be near 40, but the
maximum both today and Friday
probably will be in the upper 70s.
The mild weather will continue
over the week end, the weather
bureau indicated. No relief is in
sight for drouth-stricken crops and
pastures. It has been 145 days
since Denton County has recorded
a general rain.
Daily, more and more farmers
are “dusting in” their wheat, oats
and vetch crops, hoping for winter
rains to fall later.

NEW YORK (JT — Dwight D.
today received the
endorsement of the president of
the AFL carpenters’ union as he
pointed his hard driving cam-
paign onto the Eastern Seaboard.
M. A. Hutcheson, general pres-
ident of the AFL United Brother-
hood of Carpenters and Joiners,
announced he will support the Re-
publican candidate.
Hutcheson, a Republican, said
Eisenhower had given him “his
solemn word that he will promote
a sincere effort to eradicate unfair
sections” of the Taft-Hartley Law.
At its annual convention in New
York recently, the AFL endorsed
Eisenhower’s Democratic oppo-
nent, Gov. Adlai Stevenson.
Eisenhower conferred with
Hutcheson and also with a group
of small businessmen before leav-
ing for New Jersey to open his
campaign in the East. He return-
ed last night from a coast-to-coast
campaign trip which carried him
into the normally Democratic
South.

ey went into a personal conference

meeting—la Ban Frandsco last
night—the Democratic presideuttal
nominee accused Elsenhower of at-
tempting to ride two political hors-

prepered for delivery from tto
Capital steps in Sacramento:
“Here la California he has tried
the delicate job of being both a

Stevenson repeated a virtual en-
dorsement of Republican Gov. Earl
Warren—an endorsement that won
applause from a Democratic audi-
ence which bulged San Francisco’s
Cow Palaeo.
The Mme audience, the moot re-
sponsive he has hsd in his travels,
